LewisFilm Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Is anyone having serious problems with corrupted files and "drop-frame-like-banding" on the bottom of their clips? I love the GH2, and am invested in a whole kit of great lenses, but unless I can figure this out, I'm going to have to move over to the 5D3. I'm getting the same problems with both the 44mbps and 88mbps patches. 1/10 files is unreadable, and another 1/10 has a thick band of unusable video on the bottom of the frame. I'm shooting mostly HBR PAL - on this project at least. I would really appreciate suggestions on a potential fix - as well as a good program for recovery of MTS files (Panasonic Restorer doesn't seem to work for GH2). Thanks for any help, -A- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jguk Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi, Yeah I had the same issue with 88mb patch - an annoying band at the bottom of the picture... No problems with the 44 mb one though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 16, 2012 Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2012 Use latest PTools and v1.1 firmware instead. You are using the out of date stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jguk Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I only downloaded ptool yesterday - using the link on this site - and used the latest firmware from Panasonic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisFilm Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Apologies - I am using 1.1 not 1.01 --- So yes, this is on the latest firmware and the latest patches that I've been having the problem. It could certainly be hardware failure - but the gear is relatively new and hasn't been abused in any way. It was working unhacked, on the original firmware. Any suggestions what might be the problem? Thanks very much. This forum is invalueable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
